Life Without Kindness

911 Words4 Pages

Life without harmony is brutal. Just as life without someone to talk to is brutal. People often have to change themselves to be a part of the exclusive group. The popular kids. When you aren’t a popular kid, you are shunned by the rest of the world. A misfit. Someone who really doesn’t have a purpose, right? You are pushed further and further down into this terrible depth. This depth called despair.
We have all been in the great depths of despair. Maybe, I don’t matter. And nobody even seems to understand. Do they really want to be my friend? Perhaps I am a token item. Look! Susan can be friends with someone deemed unfriendable! Someone made to be laughed at. These thoughts keep us in the depths of despair. Once in, it seems impossible to …show more content…

Maybe telling someone they are pretty, or nice, can keep them hanging on. On the opposite side of that, showing hatred can change the course of someone’s life forever, too.

You might be as surprised as me that hopelessness, amount of pain, and the belief that death will end the pain were common themes in the letters of both groups. Other studies have replicated these findings.” People feel like they are a burden when they are pushed to believe so. It seems that nobody cares until the person is gone. When they’re gone you want to tell them everything you were too afraid to say. “You aren’t stupid. You’re worth more than you know. You are so talented.” And it seems that nobody ever wants to apologize until the person is dead. It isn’t hard. It could be as simple as “I am sorry if I caused you pain in any way.” Waiting until the person is dead has no reason, whatsoever. All of this ties into just staying inclusive. Saying hi. Showing compassion. Staying

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of 'The Grieving Never Ends'

    724 Words  | 3 Pages

    Thoughts in regards to suicide often include empathy for the dead, and wonder as to what drove the person to end their life. All too often, people ignore a rather important consideration: the thoughts and feelings of those left behind. The loved ones are left with the remorse, despondence, and grieving, while the dead are absolved of their worldly anguish. In “The Grieving Never Ends”, Roxanne Roberts employs a variety of rhetorical tactics including metaphors, imagery, tone, and syntax to illustrate the indelible effects of suicide on the surviving loved ones. Roberts effectively uses metaphors to express the complex, abstract concepts around suicide and human emotion in general.
